What is there to do in Mendocino?
When most people think of Mendocino, they picture
wine tasting, towering redwoods, and picturesque views, but there is so much more! The first thing that everyone notices is the natural beauty from
scenic beaches to majestic forests. Families enjoy exploring the
lighthouses,
Glass Beach, and
hiking in forests.
More family friendly attractions include the indoor water park, mini golf, and playing at the beach.
Outdoor adventures continue with horseback riding on the beach, kayaking through sea caves or whale watching. For those that have come to relax, we suggest getting pampered at a
day spa, browsing the
shops and art galleries, then
dining out and catching some
live entertainment.
